I beat Borderlands the first day I got it and it became just a continuous grindfest to replay it over and over, so past the first week it just died to me. A lot of people that later played it say it got better with the DLC but I was never willing to pay for that. This pack includes all the DLC but I’m skeptical because they’re always developing DLC for games like this…

Tropico 3 Gold Edition, October 5 2010

This includes the original Tropico 3, which is totally worth owning, and the expansion Tropico 3: Absolute Power, which keeps adding replayability to this great game. El Presidente… the people, they love you! A game which lets you play the role of a dictator is always a lot of fun. 😀

Medal of Honor, October 12 2010

This looks like a Battlefield and Call of Duty (Modern Warfare) clone but hey we might not see anymore MW from the people who made MW1 and MW2 so it might be time to suck it up! Could be fun so long as the server system is well implemented. Click here to view the trailer for this game.

The Guild 2: Renaissance, October 14 2010

Europa 1400 The Guild is probably one of the best games ever made for PC but few people in the US know it. The Guild 2 was relatively weak compared to the original and it had a different set of bugs in it. However that may be, both the original Guild and the Guild 2 are two great games that involve you playing something like the Sims mixed with the diplomatic scheming that would make Machiavelli proud. This expansion adds more functionality (and often a patch as well) to the original game which is already a time vacuum, despite its problems.

Arcania: Gothic 4, October 12 2010

First off, Jowood made this which is a really good thing. The previous Gothic games have been praised by many of my gamer friends (the ones that I respect) as great RPGs. Nice to see this franchise is not dead.

Fallout: New Vegas, October 19 2010

I heard from people that this was made by some of the original people who made the first Fallout games and that’s a good thing. I still believe that Fallout should NEVER have become an FPS game (even with its LIGHT RPG ELEMENTS). The teaser videos make me think a lot of New Reno from Fallout 2 as well as Wasteland, what Fallout is based on. Let’s see…

Lego Universe MMO, October 26 2010

The good people from NetDevil made this MMO and it looks fun from the videos I’ve seen of it. Yeah, it might be a kid’s game but from my experience NetDevil puts out pretty good MMOs. Auto Assault is still my favorite MMO game of all time.

Well, that’s the list of stuff that I care to look at next month. Hopefully none of it will be a disappointment like Civilization 5 was (more on that soon).
